It’s risk/reward. If brain chips made me twice as productive or intelligent, I’d probably tolerate a lot more risk than if it was just a way to check my Instagram notifications without pulling out my phone.
Productive or intelligent for whose benefit? If it's so that you can perform better under wage labor conditions, that's coercion.
I am self-employed. So myself, I guess.
Well then hell yea, it's likely you won't be coerced into it's use. Though sticking to my original prediction, that means you won't be the demographic it gets marketed to or pushed upon.
I suspect you are all too right.
